Projects We Support

Transparency for Police

This crowd-funding effort will help the journalists who forced the release of the Laquan McDonald video, as well as other local reporters who are working on similar investigations.

Encryption Tools For Journalists

Crowd-funding for open-source encryption tools that can better protect the communications of journalists and sources: Open WhisperSystems, Tails, Tor Project and the LEAP Encryption Access Project. Donate to support these vital tools here.

WikiLeaks

WikiLeaks is an independent, not-for-profit online publisher that works to defend freedom of speech, media publishing and the improvement of our common historical record. Make a tax-deductible donation to WikiLeaks here.

“A cantankerous press, an obstinate press, a ubiquitous press must be suffered by those in authority in order to preserve the even greater values of freedom of expression and the right of the people to know.”

—Judge Murray Gurfein, Pentagon Papers case, June 17, 1971
